Crow's Nest Grain Rate Clash at Royal Commission
Ottawa reports preliminary skirmishing over western grain freight rates before the royal commission on transportation. Alberta and the CPR clashed as CPR seeks to end the Crow's Nest rates from 1896 and 1922 statutes. Alberta's J J Frawley defended the rates while CPR lawyer Ian Sinclair pressed for witness opinion. Witness Rand H Matheson favored retaining the rates but urged railway compensation for losses. Matheson's commission suggests grain sales deficiency of about 33 million dollars annually. Continental fighting continues with continued debate.
